There was a national outcry in September when the much-loved, 200-year-old Northumberland tree was cut down in an apparent act of vandalism.

The National Trust, which owns the land on which it stood, said it quickly collected material from the remains of the sycamore, adding work has been ongoing to see whether it can be reborn from cuttings and seeds.
